Nasser Al-Attiyah: We had a flat rear tyre 3km before the finish, I had to avoid Lukyanuk.

Simos Galatariotis: The problem was the opening of the stage on tarmac, we lost some time there.

Alexandros Tsouloftas: We enjoyed the first stage, we had problems with the tyre pressure last time.

Juuso Nordgren: Lukyanuk was in the middle of road, I had to hit a big rock which caused a puncture. Fortunately, he was early enough to warn me and it happened on tarmac. Lukyanuk lost control and hit the barrier. It would have been a big mess.
